Mentorship Program
PROFESSIONAL MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
AEP is thrilled to announce the second edition of our mentorship program! This program is tailored for early, mid-career, and established professionals, while a separate program is available for our student members.
We encourage established practitioners to share their knowledge in this program to help build stronger habits of community-building within AEP. We also encourage professionals looking to deepen their expertise to be part of this two-way skills-building program alongside seasoned experts in the organization. No matter the reason for joining, AEP’s Mentorship Program provides an invaluable opportunity to learn, collaborate, and strengthen our community of environmental professionals.
The AEP Mentorship Program offers professionals an opportunity to be both mentee and mentor at the same time and has been designed to provide maximum flexibility and opportunities for our members. The AEP Mentorship Program for professionals consists of both at-will and programmed opportunities. The at-will option will allow mentors to search our member database for potential mentors who have designated themselves to be interested in mentoring. The programmed option will guide peer groups of 3 to 5 members on a 9-session curriculum together.
Applications open: Thursday, January 22, 2026
Deadline: Friday, February 20, 2026
Once registration ends, anyone interested in the programmed mentorship opportunity will be assigned to a Peer Mentoring Group by the AEP Mentorship Committee. Sessions will be held (in-person or online) nine times, approximately once per month – choosing dates and times that work best for the group members. Groups will be assigned based on the registration information you provide.
We know that business is better with diverse teams and AEP strongly believes that mentoring can be too!
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR THE PROFESSIONAL MENTORSHIP PROGRAM!
Please note: this program is tailored for professionals. A separate Student Mentorship Program will roll out in March 2026 — stay tuned for details!
For the at-will mentorship opportunity, please log in to our membership directory and from there, you can sort for fellow members that are interested in being a mentor and/or mentee and might share some interests of yours. While there, don’t forget to review your profile and update all of your information!
If you have any questions or are interested in joining the AEP Mentorship Committee please contact Konnie Dobreva (konnie@epdsolutions.com) or Corinne Lytle Bonine (corinne.lytle@aes.com).
